Love this approach. Minimising the commitment is so key to keeping it. It's why I've been doing a braindead simple kettlebell swing routine + long walks. Need to get back on the Kettlebell now that I've recovered from an awkward finger injury...

Kettlebells are slept on. If I had to purchase only one piece of equipment, that’s what it would be. It’s so versatile.

Love the eliminating negotiation part. Every time you negotiate with yourself you lose

Exactly. You can’t give yourself a way out. Your brain will take it 9 times out of 10.

My coach told me… the heaviest weight in the gym is this front door.

As long as you can make it in that door consistently, everything else comes together.

I tell my athletes some thing similar. I tell them the hardest part of their day is showing up to the facility after school.

I think it was in Atomic habits he talks about just putting your gym shoes on a few times in a row can help start the habit.

Sounds like something from that book. Small actions compounding into something major.
